A Sick Mars Vile Disrsgards the Druggists
Advice and So Saves the Lie Of

out of my line to write letters; but my
wife thought it was no more than right
that should let you know what your
remedy has done for me. and I think
so too.

effects of this tremendous stimulation

my sleep all up. and often walked the

was extremely irritable. AS to food,

Three weeks afterwards-about the
last of May-my wife saw an advertise

She told me Of it. said: Stuff and
nonsense! it can't do me any good"
But she went to a druggists, neverthe-
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine: he sail it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money Atf it, &c.
He said he didn't keep it, but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn

P. S.-For the ABSOLUTE truth of the
above statement | i, fer to the following
gentlemen, who s:tre personally ac-
quainted with the facts: Mr.. Alex
ander Weir, 626 156th ST.; Mr.. George
Seaman. 158th street and Courtlandt
avenue; Mr. A. Moebus, 154th street
and Courtlandt avenue; Mr.. P. F.
Vaupel, l54th street and Courtlandt
avenue; Mr.. John Lunny, $50 East
159th street; Mr.. John Renshaw, 124
125th street, and many others: Twill
also reply to letters OF inquiry.
We submit that the above astonish-
ing cure, vouchcd for as it is by repu-
table men, is deserving of a thorough
and candid investigation by thinking
people. And we further submit that
when druggists turn away customers
by falsifying the character Of y remedy
because they do not happen to have it
on hand they do n great wrong. Ii
this afflicted man had not disrcgarded
the druggists advice and sent else
where for the remedy he would without
doubt have bocn in his grave.
Other letters of similar character
from prominent individuals. which
stamp Kaskine as a remedy OF I'M
doubted merit, will he sent on applica-
ton. Price. $l.0O, OF bottle. $500.
Sold by Druggists. or sent by mail on
receipt of price.
